A powerful and harrowing look into the world of reservists as seen through one mans transformation from weekend warrior to combat MarineIn 1990 Buzz Williams walked into a Marine recruiting office to follow in the footsteps of the deceased older brother he grew up idolizing, and signed up to join the reserves. Buzz had thought that he would need to sacrifice only one weekend a month and two weeks a year for training to earn the money that would help pay for his college tuition. He had no idea that even the newest reservists could find themselves on the battlefield in a matter of weeks.Spare Partsrecounts Williamss harrowing deployment to the Persian Gulf after only four weeks of combat training. Enduring both the condescension of full-time Marines and the danger of his limited preparation, he manages to form a core group that struggles to gain respect from a military machine that views them as mere spare parts. In gripping, you-are-there detail, Spare Partsarticulates the grueling physical and emotional trials that Williams and his comrades face on the killing fields of Kuwait.A compelling portrait, Spare Partsadds a moving new perspective to the literature of war.
